Restoration Working Group

Millions of acres of natural
landscapes throughout the country have been disturbed beyond the point
of return. The ecological balance of these sites has been upset by many
agents including exotic species invasions, mining, toxic waste dumping,
abandoned roadways, recreational uses, fire suppression followed by
devastating forest fires, stream and river degradation, overuse of range
lands, illegal off-highway vehicle use, utility installation and military
training missions.

Membership in the Restoration
Working Group is open to all interested individuals, organizations,
and agencies. The Chair of RWG, Greg Eckert of the National Park Service,
can be e-mailed at greg_eckert@nps.gov.
RWG also has an e-mail discussion list.

Comments, suggestions,
and questions about the website should be directed to the webmaster.
